@jbwfic Does this scrape include works that were already locked to registered users?
About half my works have ids within the scraped range, and one of the ones stolen if locked fics were included was an original work of fiction for which I hold an unquestionable copyright.
As a reminder, you have until midnight to delete things from your twitter account. After that they don't EXACTLY own it, but by their TOS they might as well.
Cannot get over the fact that I am a member of the only generation that will ever experience the eight year window when the internet both contained pretty much all knowledge AND it was easy to find and generally reliable. And it was my exact high school and college years.
When you're young, you may think that when you're 30+ you will naturally gravitate away from fandom. What's more realistic is that your dear online friend that writes transformers smut will help you format your resume
xl: you were working with what you had
sqh: i mean. i guess?
xl: i learned from someone i love very much that an artist is only as good as his tools
sqh: i mean my laptop DID suck lol

@10thmusemoon It's bad and wrong to treat immigrants this way. At best, immigrants only ever really get to be compound Americans, like Korean Americans or Palestinian Americans, etc. That perhaps preserves an aspect of identity, but it also makes it too easy for bigots to drop the latter half.
@10thmusemoon I feel like this is true, but I am also having trouble reconciling it with my notion that Shen Yuan really didn't get out much, and therefore while he hypothetically wouldn't have minded, he also almost never had the opportunity to test that hypothesis.
